Plants
  • Many of the freshwater plants grow near or in the water.
  • Plants that live in and on top of water are called aquatic or hydrophytic plants.
  • Aquatic plants that grow at the sides and on the banks of freshwater areas are sometimes called bog plants
  • Plants need the nutrients that are found in the rich soil that is in and around freshwater ecosystems.


Climate

  • The climate has a tropical[hot] or cold tempature.
  • The Avg. rainfall is 10-80 inches per year .
  • The water is cold and so is the surrounding area. So the tempature in the area has to be warm to make the water this way.
  • Freshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration — usually less than 1%. Plants and animals in freshwater regions
    are adjusted to the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration
    .
Animals
  • Most nutrients that support life in a flowing water ecosystem are washed in from the land.
  • Because ponds are shallow, they support animal life.
  • Because of the purity of the water, the absence of the harsh salt, and the adaptability of the water, a broad spectrum of plant and animal life can be found in these areas.
